Andrew have you asked David Cameron if it is permissable to quote these views about schools.

What happens when the competition has forced all other competitors out of business - then they can charge what they want. This really is devil take the hindmost thinking

Could you tell us what your views are on their statement?

Not gonna spend my time commenting on what other people have said on Facebook, especially when the only purpose it's posted on Accringtonweb for is one of political advantage from a Labour councillor. I'm not rent-a-quote... unless you pay. :D
